If I could make a prediction about Nash. This thing will drag out until the new CBA is agreed upon. The salary cap will be lowered, forcing what few teams remain to drop out of the running for him. The Rangers will then be the only team left with any cap room to use, since they have just over $15 million of cap space and only MDZ and Stralman to resign.

Nash will somehow force Howson to trade him and the Rangers will get Nash for a worse package then what Ottawa got a few years ago for Dany Heatley. Think Dubinsky and a 5th round pick.

I agree, it may not get done until Sept. but its clear Nash wants to play in NY. They could probably get it done now with Stepan, BD, Miller, 1st but Sather may be waiting it out, since Doan and Ryan probably aren't happening.

I agree 100%

Also wasnt suggested he be moved for a top 6 forward.

I finally figured out Torontos trade to get a top line centre

To Toronto: David Kreijci

To Boston: 2013 First, 2014 First and 2014 Second

wouldnt call krejci a top line center. 1A/1B...but not a 1st line C. too inconsistent, and i think he would take a significant hit in points if he went to columbus

nope Rick Nash is the next Steve Yzerman, he will win multiple cups in his 30s

I thought we were talking about bernier

haven't heard any teams saying they're out today?

Posted on July 18th, 2012 at 5:15 pm:
According to Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area, the Blue Jackets and Sharks have not had talks about Rick Nash in “months.”

The Blue Jackets reportedly keep insisting that Logan Couture be part of the deal and the Sharks won’t move him.

Update at 6:34PM: James Murphy writes at ESPN.com that the Bruins are no longer in the running for Nash and that the players being asked for are a combination of David Krejci, Milan Lucic and Dougie Hamilton.

if Milbury was the GM of Boston, it would have been a done deal.

The brain power it must of took to think up this beaut is hard to fathom

I think Sather sees it like this: Yeah, I could get this done if I included Stepan in the deal, but why should I when I can force the Blue Jackets to trade him to me for nothing just by waiting a few months?

Luongo.

Whose going back?

Also wasnt suggested he be moved for a top 6 forward.
- poisondhearts37

I say we keep him for a year, or at least until the trade deadline, let his value rise and play him more. Thats the only way he will be worth a top six.

Nash just signed with the Lakers. #CONFIRMED

First Lebron, now Nash. Poor little Ohio, always a bridesmaid......

LOL! Because Krejci is so much better than what we already have.

Right, although that's a bit risky too as someone could come in with a better deal but it seems that's the plan for now. I'd rather move DZ than Stepan with Erixon in the system but the almighty Howson said he dosen't want defenseman.

so very true

- thomas81

krejci would be toronto's best center. but that's not saying much lol.

Every time I hear about leaked howson trade requests all I can think of is trying to trade with idiots in sim league sites. Congrats howson, thats quite the comparison. Sorry cbus fans. The bet return will come after Howson gets canned, he better not last till the beginning of reg. Season or I will be pissed for you.

ya, those poor fans, all 50 of them

if i was ownership I would of fired Howson at the end of last season
give the new GM a clean slate for the draft and free agency

I'd rather not lose any roster players other than Dubinsky. I like him, but he's too damn streaky. I have faith Sather will get this done and he'll screw the Blue Jackets over worse than he did to the Habs.

Howson isn't getting fired until atleast the first 3 months of the season. In all honesty though I seem him lasting pretty much all season and being let go in the ladder part of the home stretch.

- Deadmau55

Give it up already. The Leafs aren't giving you anything. Bernier will be a backup for the rest of his career. Look at his numbers.

Leafs don't need help in net.
